    Pik20D Wave Flight
    This flight was carried out on the day after the Stemme wave flight in Episode 1. Wave was contacted at about 4000ft a couple of kilometers south-west of Wilpena Pound, and I rode it to about 10,000ft. David Conway launched a bit earlier than me with Oxygen and managed 18,500ft in the same wave system -- Wow!
